A suitable background is a Master of Science (MSc) degree (or Swedish “Magister” or “Civilingenjör”) in Chemistry, with solid experience in synthetic molecular inorganic and/or organic chemistry, organometallic and coordination chemistry, and an interest in physical chemistry. Previous documented experience in (time-resolved) spectroscopy is advantageous. The ability of the PhD student to be innovative and not afraid to go outside the traditional discipline boundaries is appreciated
